and your EA board can boot directly from your development host, provided you install a tftp server on your local machine and let it share from /tftpboot. Remember to set up the EA board to work in your local network.

Step-by-step

First follow the instructions above and mount the disk on your development host on a directory in your home directory.

The uid and gid's mentioned below may vary on your computer. Check locally in /etc/passwd and /etc/group your uid and gid.

local host$ sshfs -ouid=500-ogid=500-p2222<your login on bren>@bren.hih.au.dk:<your mounted disk from the development host><mountpoint>local host$ ln-s<mountpoint>/<path-to-uClinux-dist>/images /tftpboot

If your tftp server is set up to serve from /tftpboot as suggested above your EA board now loads on your local network directly from the development host.

You can put the IP address for bren.hih.au.dk in your local /etc/hosts file.
